DEFIANCE AND DESPAIR AT ISRAELI PRISON IN LEBANON
http://www.nytimes.com/1983/10/02/w...in-lebanon.html
Israel's prison camp in southern Lebanon has become a squalid, seething sore of defiance and despair. The Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners, now numbering 4,700, live in big army tents inside compounds ringed by fences, guard towers and armored personnel carriers. Some of the Israeli guards are soldiers who were court- martialed for various crimes, officers say, and are serving sentences themselves.
In June they set fire to 220 tents ''to gain some publicity and not be forgotten by the outside,'' the camp commander, Col. Moshe Kafri, said. Some Israeli officers who serve here predict that when the prisoners are finally released their bitterness will forge them into a new brigade of the Palestine Liberation Organization - the Ansar Brigade.
But apparently in recognition that this will not happen soon, Israel has begun building a slightly more permanent prison camp. Asphalt is being laid in square compounds 130 feet long on a side. In each compound 120 to 140 prisoners will be housed in tents fastened to iron pegs embedded in the asphalt. Small buildings are being put up to serve as shower rooms and latrines.
Five prisoners have been killed, Mr. Taamri said. Three died a year ago and three were wounded when an armored personnel carrier went through a ditch and a machine gun fired a burst into the camp. According to the army, it was an accident, and Mr. Taamri did not dispute that. ''It was an accident in that there were no orders to shoot,'' he said. An army spokesman said two officers and two sergeants were court-martialed on charges ranging from negligence to negligent homicide. One officer received a reprimand, and the three others were given suspended three-month jail sentences.
Four months ago another prisoner was shot through the head and killed, Mr. Taamri said, when he reached through a fence to try to pick up a letter he had dropped. Another was killed in July, he said, when soldiers fired at prisoners who were reportedly late getting back to their own compounds after being allowed to visit other compounds. The man was killed inside his own section, Mr. Taamri said.
ISRAELIS FREE 750 FROM LEBANON PRISON CAMP

On Tuesday, the Israelis took 1,100 other Ansar prisoners to a new detention center in Israel. The release of about a third of the prisoners was designed to ease tensions with southern Lebanon's increasingly hostile Shiite Moslems. About 20 staffers of the International Red Cross monitored the release. Michel Cagneaux, head of the relief agency's Tel Aviv office, said the unofficial count showed 758 prisoners were released. But Yossi, the camp commander, put the figure at 752. Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin indicated release of the other prisoners would be linked to an end to the guerrilla warfare that has claimed the lives of 40 Israeli soldiers so far this year. But at the same time, the Israelis conducted another of their ''iron fist'' raids on Shiite villages suspected of harboring guerrillas. Israeli soldiers searched houses and shops in Teir Zebna and rounded up 300 men for questioning, United Nations spokesman Timur Goksel said.
About 75 percent of the Ansar prisoners were Shiite Moslems, according the camp commander, who in accordance with Israeli military regulations was identified only as Col. Yossi. He said the rest were Palestinians or Lebanese Sunni Moslems.
Some of the prisoners freed Wednesday said they had been at Ansar for nearly 17 months - since November 1983 when Israel carried out its last mass release of prisoners.
Yossi said he had seen an increase in Shiite fundamentalism among the inmates.
The Last Ansar Detention Camp Inmates Freed; IDF Bulldozers Level the Area

In November, 1983, 4,500 prisoners were released from Ansar in exchange for six Israeli soldiers held by El Fatah, the terrorist arm of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Later, six more IDF soldiers taken prisoner by the Syrians were exchanged for 291 Syrian soldiers at Ansar
It was evident the IDF was losing no time. Bulldozers uprooted utility polls and other structures which were loaded onto trucks for transportation back to Israel. Also extracted were the concrete blocks on which the tents and huts had rested to prevent prisoners from digging escape tunnels.
